This is a great house with amazing furnishings. It was close to the zoo and the science museum. The host supplied everything that we needed. The view from the porch is beautiful and is probably even better when the leaves have fallen. We were very pleased to have chosen this house for our Syracuse visit.

Visit to Syracuse

The house was exactly as pictured and very clean - we absolutely loved it. The view of the lake during the day was refreshing to see and then at night we could see the city lights - so beautiful! We left with wonderful memories. Heather is an excellent host and we would most definitely stay here again.

Great stay away from the City but close to everything

Close to Downtown Syracuse and very well appointed

We stayed here for graduation from Syracuse University, it is in a nice neighborhood less than 10 minutes to downtown and about 15 min to campus. It has a nice view of the lake and is very close to the walking trails on the west side of Lake Onondaga. It was very clean, nicely decorated and stocked with everything that we needed.

Great place for parents weekend

We had a lovely stay for Syracuse parents weekend. One of the best stocked VRBOs I have experienced! Everything you could want including robes and slippers! The views are amazing too—perfect place to sit and relax and host meals during the craziness of parents weekend. We had a lovely stay and would certainly return. Onondaga Lake park is lovely to visit as well!

Great property, good location. This is a really nice home loaded with amenities. Loved the decor and the view. The big screen TV was a big hit, and the kitchen was well equipped. The back deck was really nice, unfortunately the weather kept us indoors. Heather was very helpful and ensured we had a comfortable stay. We would easily recommend this home to anyone looking for a nice property in a quiet location close to all the sites. Looking forward to our next visit,

Winter Wonderland

It was our second stay and we loved it just as much as the first time. It was a very snowy weekend, so we ended up spending a lot of time at the house. The views are just spectacular, and the place just has such a unique and fun vibe. We enjoyed being able to eat meals together at the dining table and make use of the full kitchen. Lots of fun family memories were made. We will be back!

The View The Amenities Excellence

This is quite possibly the most perfect property that we've ever booked. Between the gorgeous view, the comprehensively stocked kitchen, and the beautiful and even quirky decorating style, this one is at the top of our list. And to top it off Heather was a joy to deal with. Our schedule caused us to make multiple booking changes, and she had no issue with accommodating us. This is now our go-to in Syracuse.

Perfect Stay

Everything about our stay was perfect! The house was spotless and so beautifully decorated. The view was lovely with the big windows overlooking the trees and lake. The beds were very comfortable (soft but supportive), and linens and pillows were great. Usually after a few days I am ready to go home and be in my own bed, but this time I wish we could have stayed longer! Communication and access was easy. Everything has been thought of! We would love to visit again sometime.

Great Stay

We stayed here during the State Fair and had an amazing time. Heather was an amazing host and communicated everything promptly. They also left small welcome gifts which was a really nice touch. The house was fully sticked with everything you could want (including an espresso maker that my wife took full advantage of). The location was also great. We were a quick ride from the fairgrounds, downtown and from SU’s Campus. It was such a wonderful stay and I would recommend it to anyone staying in Syracuse. 5 stars for sure.

This was the perfect house to meet our friends for a halfway point. Heather has taken care of every tiny detail that you could possibly want in a VRBO. The place was decorated beautifully, quirkly and fun! It's in a quiet neighborhood and close to pretty much all that we needed. Everywhere you looked in the house, there was something new and interesting to see! She also responded very quickly to any messages I sent her. Extremely happy we found this place and had someone as sweet as Heather to be the host!

Possibly the best house I've ever stayed at

This is by far my favorite vaca home I've ever stayed in. The artistic and eclectic decor make this feel like you're staying in a high-end luxury penthouse, and the attention to detail in every aspect around the home is another level (everything clearly labeled, fresh cut flowers throughout, having a bottle of my FAVORITE finger lakes Riesling in the fridge for my arrival, little chocolates on bed pillows, fresh robes for use...the list of small but exceptional considerations goes on!). The master bed is soft but in a heavenly/lofty sort of way and was so comfortable. Everything was inviting, clean, and top notch in every way.
